Yeah, I've watched the first few episodes. It's not amazing or anything, but I've been entertained enough to continue watching them. It helps having a very solid supporting cast in Brett Gelman, Jenny Slate, and John Hodgman.

of the two, I think Married was better, and I think it had potential. But it's missing, i dunno, a lot of something. Maybe background music and bewbeez.

Whoa, wackiness. I love that show and all the characters.

There seems to be a schism in the mind meld. :shock:

For you Brady Bunch fans:

Saw a 2007 episode of Drake & Josh airing on Nick today. In it, there was a fake movie poster for "The Adventures of George Glass." You'll recall "George Glass" was the name that Jan Brady used for her fake boyfriend, whom she invented in order to appear popular. That BB episode, The Not-so-Ugly Duckling, aired in 1970.

That poster was also used in a 2011 episode of Victorious, also on Nick.

Finally watching Silicon Valley. This show is awesome. Currently on episode 6.

Not awesome: Comcrap's Ondemand requiring 25 button presses to get to the next episode. Completely ridiculous.

Did they actually make one this year or is this trollbait? They pissed everyone with an IQ higher than 80 off last year with the Megalodon fauxumentary and this year they're tripling down three more fiction shows, one of being MOAR megalodon. I'm hoping your statement complete with missed spelling is just deeply clever sarcasm.

I was laughing my ass off for the majority of the last few episodes. That sequence in particular nearly had me in tears.

It was the extended cut of last year's. Anyone who was anged by it had to have been angered because they were tricked. I sat there laughing the whole time because it was less believable than the mermaid one.

I don't know which show has jumped shark more between Under the Dome and Falling Skies, but I enjoy both for that very reason.

Any firey anger I have for Discovery doing this is just a remnant of my burning hatred for the takedown of TLC. It's hard enough getting folks to learn something new, tossing in fictional documentaries just makes it worse. Leave it to SyFy.

6 episodes into season 1 of The X-Files. Before this I had only seen 1 episode and both movies. The episode and the first movie were really good. I wasn't sure I was going to get into it but it really is a fantastic show.

I tried to rewatch it two years ago and kept falling asleep through the episodes. More a product of my weird work schedule than anything but it just couldn't hold me like it did when I was 12.

My buddy let me borrow his DVDs a few years ago. I'd watch the show hit/miss when it was on. But then I watched almost every episode. I really like it.
